Apple Launches iPad 2

Apple today introduced iPad 2, featuring an entirely new design that is 33 percent thinner and up to 15 percent lighter than the original iPad while maintaining the same 9.7-inch LED-backlit LCD screen and up to 10 hours of battery life. iPad 2 also features Apple?s new dual-core A5 processor for blazing-fast performance and stunning graphics and now includes two cameras ? a front-facing VGA camera for FaceTime and Photo Booth and a rear-facing camera that captures 720p HD video. iPad 2 is available in black or white, features models that run on AT&T?s and Verizon?s 3G networks, and introduces the innovative iPad 2 Smart Cover in a range of colors. iPad 2 will be available on March 11 in the US through the Apple Online Store, Apple Retail Stores, and select Apple Authorized Resellers.

Element Case Joule Chroma iPad stand works with iPad 2

We've covered the Element Case Joule iPad stand several times here on TUAW, even giving away some specially-made TUAW-logoed stands to several of our readers. Now Element Case has partnered with us again to introduce the new Joule Chroma line of iPad stands, and yes, we will be giving one away.

The Chroma line comes in six bright colors -- orange, red, blue, pink, grey and black -- and there's even a matching Ultrasuede liner to caress your iPad. The Joule stand is set up with rubber pads at the bottom to keep it from sliding across smooth surfaces as you tap on the iPad screen, and the tilt foot magnetically attaches to one of three ports to adjust the angle at which the iPad sits. Finally, there's a speaker port so that your tunes aren't muffled when the iPad is nestled in the stand in portrait mode.

The Joule Chroma isn't for everyone; at US$149.99, it's definitely a luxury item. And you probably don't want to use it with the Smart Cover installed, as you'll want to use this when you're using the iPad 2. But if you're looking for a very classy and well-made machined aluminum product with which to prop up your iPad, the Joule Chroma is a heck of a choice.

Remove a floating menu bar from full-screen Flash videos

Under Safari and 10.6, I've noticed an annoying problem: All too frequently, when I go to full-screen on a YouTube or other Flash video, the menu bar 'forgets' to disappear. It's really easy to fix.

Just click on the menu bar! Yup. That easy. Click on a menu, an app up there, or even (as I've found) just on the whitespace.

[crarko adds: I haven't tested this one. I don't really watch that much full-screen video on my Mac, so I don't notice this. If someone observes this in 10.5 or earlier, let us know in the comments, please.]

TUAW TV Live at 5 PM EDT: Open topic Wednesday

Today's TUAW TV Live will be coming to you from an undisclosed location in a hotel room somewhere in California. As such, I'm operating on a much slower network and without all of the support equipment that I usually have at the TUAW TV Studios. We're going to have some fun this afternoon, though -- if provide the topics, I'll respond the best I can. Think of this as an open mic night at your local bar, except you won't get to sing and there's no alcohol involved.

As usual, we'll be starting at about 5 PM EDT (2 PM PDT / 10 PM BST). At that time, drop by TUAW and I'll have full instructions on how you can watch the live streaming video and participate in the chat. If you can't join me this afternoon, be sure to subscribe to the TUAW TV Live podcast through iTunes.
